Antiche Scale, Fiesole Overview
Antiche Scale is located in Fiesole, Italy. Rated 8.6 out of 10 based on 5 guest reviews.
Antiche Scale is a small stay in Fiesole, Italy, set at Via delle Cannelle, 1, a hillside address that suits travelers who want a quieter base while still reaching Florence’s main sights. With just 5 air-conditioned rooms, the property keeps things intimate, and the practical basics are covered: free WiFi for planning days out and private bathrooms with bathtubs or showers and complimentary toiletries. Check-in runs from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM, so it works best if you’re arriving in the afternoon rather than late at night. Guests also note a calm, straightforward experience rather than a busy hotel feel, which shows in the overall rating of 8.6/10 from a small set of reviews.

If you want Florence culture, the Historic Center - Downtown is roughly a 15-minute drive, with major highlights like the Uffizi Gallery and Ponte Vecchio also within about 15–16 km. Antiche Scale is best for couples and solo explorers who prefer a low-key base in Fiesole, want reliable WiFi, and plan to spend most of their time on day trips to Florence’s museums and monuments.
